basic technical support through to site surveys and condition reports. Expert leadworkers from the LSA and
LCA were also running demonstrations of lead bossing and applying lead to simulated decorative roofing details. This took place for the duration of the show at a special demonstration area. Although a relatively simple technique to learn in its basic form, experts practice and de- velop their skill to such an extent that the most complex shapes can be drawn out of a flat sheet and show visitors had the opportunity to see this first hand. Staff were also happy to discuss any technical questions guests had. In the last few years the LSA has also
undertaken extensive research into the benefits of using rolled lead sheet. Show attendees were able to find out more about lead’s green credentials as a build- ing material and about its reliability and impressive life cycle costs. Special Show discounts on training and publications where also available.
